Owner narrative: I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE AFTER ENGINE STARTS. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2 TO 3 TIMES A YEAR. IT CAN HAPPEN AFTER AN OVERNIGHT STOP OR JUST A FEW MINUTES. IT ALWAYS WORKS AFTER A FEW MINUTES HOWEVER, A COUPLE OF TIMES THE NON ENGAGING TRANSMISSION ALLOWED THE CAR TO ROLL INTO A VULNERABLE POSITION IN THE STREET. I FELT LUCKY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC.
